The Jacob floor lamp is very sturdy, easy to assemble and nice looking but has two issues which caused me to return it.  The lamp hoods, while very adjustable vertically, are not really adjustable side to side, limiting the light direction.  Also the bulbs stuck out beyond the hoods, putting the light into my face instead of only on my work area.  But if you just want to light up a dark corner or want some generalized lighting, this might work fine for you.
